Jackson VP, Phillips to move on
as Senate charts future course
The past few days have signal-ed
the start of the annual Senate
politicking culminating in the
election of the new president and
vice-president later this year.
At Sunday's regularly schedul-ed
Senate meeting, freshman
senator Greg Jackson was
selected by the senators from
among three candidates for the
remainder of the vice-presidential
term. The position
was vacated when Jeffrey L.
Phillips moved to take the place
of former president Cathy Au-mack,
who resigned in December.
Phillips was sworn in as presi-dent
at the meeting by University
President Robert S. Eckley, and
then later said that he will not be
seeking reelection to the
presidential post for personal
reasons.
In the third related develop-ment,
newly elected vice-president
Greg Jackson threw his
hat into the ring for the upcoming
presidential race this Spring,
thus becoming the first person to
announce his candidacy.
After an hour of speeches,
questions, and debate, senators
selected Jackson by a majority
vote on the first ballot, turning
away Phi Gamma Delta senator
Jeff McBride and Kathy Loula,
Kappa Delta.
Phillips indicated that he will
not seek reelection because he in-tends
to study at Washington
University, participating in the
Foreign Policy semester. In the
spring of 1980, Phillips intends to
seek election as a Democratic
party delegate to the national
convention. He said he does not
know whom he will support, but it
will not be Jimmy Carter.
The first priority in building
Senate's image is internal
management, Phillips stated.
"If we criticize those who give
us rules, our rules must be in
order first," Phillips said.
Building up the Senate
bureaucracy is a multifaceted
goal Phillips hopes to achieve.
Phillips plans to encourage
senators, committee heads, and
others involved in the workings of
the Senate to spend the budget
wisely.
An effort to dispell the myth
that Senate is "just a joke" is also
being worked on.
Phillips plans to do this two
ways. First he, along with
members of the Executive board,
will visit the House Councils of all
living units.
"The purpose behind this," ex-plained
Phillips, "is to have
students get the idea that student
leaders exist and who they are."
Secondly, he plans to use
"sponsored by the Student
Senate" on all publicity dealing
with student funded activities.
Phillips admits this is a minor
tion and working towards a new
solution. Students who are in-terested
are invited to provide
their imput.
Elections for the student
representatives on the All
University Judicial Committee
have been postphoned until a
special session this week due to a
violation of the Elections Code.

point, but will hopefully bring to
the attention of students just how
much Senate is involved in cam-pus
activities.
The concept of the working
senator will be stressed in the
next few months.
Already Phillips has assigned
senators to task forces for the
month of January and in
February he will assign senators
individual topics to work on.
In his speech Sunday night
Phillips apologized for his attack
on the Administration.
"I didn't mean to attack the Ad-ministration
personally, but
rather professionally," he ex-plained.
In his dealings with the Ad-ministration
Phillips plans to go
in with an open mind. He added
that a proper function of Senate is
to put a check on those making
the rules.
Julie Bilyeu, Student Senate
Secretary, read a letter from
Gayle Buckley of Residential
Programs regarding the Senate's
inquiry into the decision of the
new lock-out policy.
According to the letter, com-mittees
consisting of hall direc-tors
and the R.A. staff worked
towards finding a decision.
Out of seven halls four halls
took the problem to House Coun-cil
to be discussed.
Buckley said that a permanent
solution had not been arrived at.

Rock Fantasia II promises to
be "even bigger than last year"
WESN station manager Wayne
Richards said this week.
Richards described Fantasia
as a simulated live concert
featuring eighteen top names in-cluding
Foreigner, Boston, Styx,
the Marshall Tucker Band and
Billy Joel. A two hour Rolling
Stones segment is also planned.
Production began last Satur-day
and the special is scheduled
to air Feb. 7 from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m.
The eighteen hour format is a
four hour expansion over Rock
Fantasia I.
"It's a lot of work," Richards
said, "but we drew a lot of
favorable listener comments last
year, so we thought we'd do it
again, only bigger."
This year's concert voice will
be Dave Hodges. Richards, Pro-gram
Director Dave Lawrence,
Dave Morris and Ted Lee are do-ing
most of the production work.
WESN has slated three specials
for January broadcast. An RCA
interview with Daryl Hall and
John Oats will air from 7-8 p.m.
Jan. 15. A two hour Styx special is
set for Jan. 23. A&M Records will
trace the Illinois band's Chicago
suburb beginnings in the early
seventies through the current
"Pieces of Eight" album.
The WESN staff has put
together what Richards termed
"an excellently produced
special" featuring the
progressive-oriented guitarist
Elvis Costello. The two hour show
will air Jan. 24 at 8 p.m.
WESN has also initiated the
"Pre-Midnight Album Hour"
during which an album is
featured every night at 11 p.m.
"There's no commentary, no dee-jay
B.S." Richards said. "It's a
pure hour of music. The album
will be a new one 60 to 70 per cent
of the time. The rest of the
featured albums will 'classics'."
The station's music supply is
steadily growing due to a grant
from Divinyl Madness, 115 North
St., Normal. The store allows
WESN to borrow any 20 albums
per week. In addition, each week,
Divinyl Madness donates two
records to the WESN library.
Although Richards estimated
that WESN has cut staff by 50 per
cent, he is enthusiastic about the
station's future. "I've never felt
so good about the people I'm
working with and the job we're
doing," Richards commented.
"We're sounding good, tight, pro-fessional."
Despite a smaller staff, a
regular morning slot has been ad-ded
to the station format. Scott
Zeller is the 7-10 "morning man."
Ted Lee fills Program Director

IWU woman reports prowler
An IWU coed reported a pro-wler
outside her first floor
residence hall window Tuesday,
shortly before 7 a.m.
The woman was dressing for
class when she heard ice falling
outside. She at first attributed the
noise to a cat, but when the noise
continued, she investigated. She
discovered a man's face pressed
against the glass of the window.
The woman's screams alerted
hall neighbors who contacted
Security. The man fled, although
he apparently was hampered by
the window ledge and surround-ing
bushes. Footprints at the
scene indicated that the man pro-bably
was at more than one win-dow
before he was discovered,
one witness said.
Security guard Larry Orr said
first floor residents are especial-ly
vulnerable to such incidents
and said drapes should be closed
at night as a precaution. He also
said windows should be kept clos-ed
and locked.

Report furniture
missing from lounge
Three pieces of recently pur-chased
furniture are missing
from the newly redecorated Stu-dent
Lounge in the Memorial
Center, Dean of Students Glenn
Swichtenberg said this week.
Swichtenberg said a wooden,
cloth backed chair was reported
missing on November 15, and on
November 21, a wooden "cube"
table was gone. A larger yellow
cloth chair disappeared around
December 4.
The value of the missing fur-niture
totals over one thousand
dollars.
Swichtenberg said the Univer-sity
had no idea of the person(s)
involved in the series of thefts.
However, one of the chairs was
located in a student's room dur-ing
a routine housing check dur-ing
Christmas break.
"The matter will be handled as
a disciplinary case by the Univer-sity,"
Swichtenberg said. The
IWU student handbook states
that furniture can not be removed
from public areas for private use,
and theft may also be charged.
As of Wednesday night the
following people had signed the
petition indicating interest in the
All University Judiciary commit-tee:
Matt Dratt, Dave Collier,
and Doug Bibo.
As of the same time, Greg
Jackson had signed the petition
for the Senate Presidential race,
while Eric J. Bieber added his
name to the Vice-Presidential
list.
